Periscope Post and Audio is finishing up a new two-minute spot and two new 30-second spots for Amideast, an American non-profit organization engaged in international education, training and development activities in the Middle East and North Africa. The spots focus on their upcoming gala at the Beverly Hilton. The two-minute spot highlights the charity and the 30-second spots announce the artists that will be performing at the October gala, which include multi-platinum artist Najwa Karam and Lebanese-Armenian musician, composer and pianist Guy Manoukian. The spots will air starting mid-August.

Periscope is also color-grading a two-minute spot from Big Teeth Productions, highlighting campus safety for The Office of Public and Government Affairs at University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC). ANd in one non-commercial note, Periscope provided Near-Set Dailies services for the baseball pilot VENDORS earlier this summer.
